 VELINEON POWER SYSTEM • 1

VxL-3s Setup and Operation

VxL-3s LEd codes and Protection Modes

• 

Solid Green

: VXL-3s power on light. Low-Voltage Detection is ON (LiPo setting).

• 

Solid Red

: VXL-3s power on light. Low-Voltage Detection is OFF (NiCad/NiMH setting).

• 

Fast Blinking Red

: Thermal Shutdown Protection Stage 1. If the motor has lower than normal power and the  

VXL-3s is hot, the VXL-3s has entered 

Stage 1 Thermal Shutdown Protection

 to guard against overheating caused 

by excessive current flow. If the motor has no power and the VXL-3s is very hot, the VXL-3s has entered 

Stage 2 

Thermal Shutdown Protection

 and has automatically shut down. Let the VXL-3s cool. Make sure your model is 

properly geared for the conditions. 

• 

Slow Blinking Red

 (with Low-Voltage Detection on):  The VXL-3s has entered

 Low-Voltage Protection

.  When 

the battery voltage begins to reach the minimum recommended discharge voltage threshold for LiPo battery 
packs, the VXL-3s will limit the power output to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage attempts to fall below the 
minimum threshold, the VXL-3s will shut down all motor output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink 
red, indicating a low voltage shutdown. The VXL-3s will stay in this mode until a fully charged battery is connected. 

• 

Alternating; Blinks Red then Green

:  If the motor has no power, the VXL-3s has entered 

Over Voltage Protection

If a battery with too high voltage  is used, the VXL-3s will go into a failsafe mode. 

Warning

: If input voltage exceeds 

approximately 20-volts, the ESC may be damaged. Do not exceed 12.6 maximum peak input voltage.

• 

Blinking Green

:  The VXL-3s is indicating the transmitter Throttle Trim is incorrectly set. Adjust the Throttle Trim to 

the middle “0” setting.
